The Capital Fringe Festival may be over, but that doesn't mean things are anywhere close to quiet down at Capital Fringe (1358 Florida Avenue). Check their website to see the full line-up of events, but here are a few you might want to check out.

On August 28th (3 p.m. to 6 p.m.) Fringe hosts Chop Bar: a Global Food Experience. Chop Bar is "a local West African phrase for makeshift small restaurants where people gather over food, music and positive vibes." In this case the tasting menu features Caribbean inspired fare from Chef Jonathan Harris.What's on the menu:

Tickets ($40) include multiple rounds of food and a signature cocktail. They'll also have a dj, and some sponsored give-aways.

The Trinidad Crafting Salon is up and running again from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. September 12th, October 10th, and December 12th (those are all Monday nights). Attendees are invited to bring portable crafts to work on during the event, or just show up to hang out with a group of folks interested in exploring their creative side. The group invites those interested in demonstrating a popular craft to reach out to the organizers by leaving a comment on one of the event Facebook pages. Past demonstrations include paper marbling and book making. This event is free and open to all ages. It's held at the tables in the Fringe Art Bar, so sodas and adult beverages are available for purchase.
